Valvoja (Finnish: Observer) was a Finnish language literary and cultural magazine that existed between 1880 and 1922.
History and profile
Valvoja was launched in 1880 by a group of individuals who would become prominent academics and politicians,[1][2] including Arvid Järnefelt and Ernst Gustaf Palmen.[3][4] The magazine was significantly influenced from a Danish magazine, Tilskueren.[3] The founding group adhered to the classical liberalism and supported the ideas of John Stuart Mill and Charles Darwin.[4] However, the magazine editors did not endorse the naturalism.[5]
editors-in-chief of the magazine.[3][6] Juhani Aho who was one of the early professional Finnish language authors, contributed to the magazine.[2] Another contributor was a member of Young Finns, Yrjo Koskelainen.[7] Valvoja was instrumental in reintroducing the views of Anders Chydenius who was among the pioneers of the liberalism in Sweden and Finland.[4]
The magazine ceased publication in 1922.[8]
